Does the room have wi-fi?
Yes
How loud will the music be?
Volume will be determined by the artist in line with the sonic journey. Please do not attempt to interfere with the speaker, if you have any questions or concerns please contact the Night Manager.
Am I able to turn off the music?
No, the work will run continuously for the 8-hour duration.
My friends are doing this experience too. Can we spend time in each other’s rooms?
Within reason, yes, but all guests must have an allocated room. We ask you to respect other patrons and keep noise to a minimum during the experience.
Is everyone staying at the hotel part of The Lucid experience?
Yes, Sydney Festival is taking over the whole dang mushroom for January!
Can I bring my pet or guide dog?
No pets, assistance animals are of course welcome.
Is there wheelchair access?

Is breakfast provided and what is included?
A small breakfast snack will be provided before check-out, served in the CTA’s iconic 1970s bistro on Level 2, where you’ll also find coffee and tea facilities. Breakfast concludes at 9am, please notify us via email in advance if you have dietary requirements.

Yes, the hotel lobby will be open throughout the evening for any restless guests. Tea facilities will be available here to help you wind down, and our staff will be around during the night if you need anything or have questions.
Can I access The Lounge Bar downstairs before or during the experience?
On all nights the Dreamers Lounge Bar on Level 2 will be open especially for The Lucid guests to unwind before the performance. The Lounge bar will close at midnight.
